COOLER FOR CANDY-COATING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOHN G. BARRAS, a citizen of Greece, residing at Detroit, in the county vof `llayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and'useful Improvements in' Coolers for Candy-Coating, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

This invention relates .to coolers 'fon candy-coating, and more particularly to that class thereof which are adapted to .re-

r ceive trays containing chocolate-creams" after they have been dipped, and it has I for one of its objects the provision of an tively, the trays bein improved devicel of this character comprising an inclosed box provided at both of its ends with openings through which the trays may be entered and come out of, respecsubjected to the chillin act-ion of ice uring their transit thoug the box. Y

The invention has, furthermore, for its object the improved construction and organization of the rims or guide-Ways iwhich support the trays so that a circulation of cold air may occur all around the same.

Further objects of the invention will here# inafter appear and be particularly defined in the claim.- Y

"The invention has been clearly illustrated yin lthe accompanying drawings, in which similar characters denote similar parts, andvside walls 12, 13, and a bottom 14l each of which elements is formed double so as to leave an 'air-space between the component members, and therefore reduce the radiation of heat between the inside of the box and the outer atmos lhere to a minimum. The lower ortion o the box has a front extension which .spaceA for the` water resu tin from the meltin of the ice in the mainx A'and the si e walls 12', 13 and front wall 10 are of rovides additional 'A device of the character described comsuch height as to permit-the insertion of a tray, indicated by dot-and-dash 1 lines T lnto an aplerture 15 provided therefor in the front wa 10. A bar 16 extends across the lower portion of the box-front and acts as a support for the front ends'of a pair of angular side-'guides 17 and al central support 18 on all of which the tray rests during itstravel through the box beneath a roof- Patented Nov. 7, 1911.4, Application vf uea my 19,1911. semi no. 828,326.

shaped ice-holder 2O which is preferably .made of corru ated sheet metal and the side edges of whic vthe sides of the box A, .so'that a free circuare free from contact with lation of air is permitted all around, and at the same time the condensation of the/ice as well .as the sweat on the underside of the` ice-support are carried off toward the box-sides Without liability ofr dropping into the candy-trays within the same.

The ice-support may be attached at spaced i points to thesides of the cooling box in any suitable manner,` as for instance by brackets 21, and a cover C is provided to close the box;

A Waste-cock 22 is placed convenient tov the operator and permits the water in the bottom of the box A and extension A to be` drawn o when desired.

The operation is as follows: The resent device isparticularly adapted to c ill or harden. the chocolate-coating of chocolatedrops which consist of a cream core and are di ed in warm liquefied chocolate, after whiclh they. are placed in cross-rows in a shallow box-tra As soon as one of the rows is complete, t e trayl is entered into ,the front aperture of the cooling-box to bring said rowl within the' interior thereof and under the chilling influenceof the cold air, so that consequently the coating 'will harden beforel it has an opportunity of running down. The operator now places another row of dipped creams on the tray, whereupon the` latter is pushed into the cooler to 'bring this last -row under the inluenoe of the cold air. Thus the process is continued, the tray finally issuing from an aperture 25 the rear wall 11 of the cooler, whence it may be removed and the now `firmly-coated candy packed away.

I claim:

prising a cooli box having its front4 and rear walls provided with alined apertures,

an o en-top extension on one end of said l In testimony whereof I/ax my signet-un -box avin its side and front Walls termiin presence of two witnesses.

nating `su stantially on a level with the lower edge of said apertures, guides extending longitudinally of said box and beyond the front and rear wells thereof and an ice JOHN G. BARBAS.
